Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you, JJ.
I would rather have seen $4.95, that people spent on those ridiculous yellow ribbon magnets, donated to the American Legion or to the VFW. These two organizations are the biggest ally a veteran can have. They help cut through all of the bureaucratic red tape and get the veteran the assistance that he/she has earned.
But, I suppose that it's more fun to have a completely meaningless decal on your car, than it is to do something that actually backs that sentiment up and can do some
real good.
